DESCRIPTION

These routines are used to perform a LDAP rename operation.
The function changes the leaf component of an entry's distinguished
name and optionally moves the entry to a new parent container. The
ldap_rename_s
performs a rename operation synchronously.
The method takes dn, which points to the distinguished name of
the entry whose attribute is being compared, newparent,the distinguished
name of the entry's new parent. If this parameter is NULL, only the RDN is changed.
The root DN is specified by passing a zero length string, "".
deleteoldrdn specifies whether the old RDN should be retained or deleted.
Zero indicates that the old RDN should be retained. If you choose this option,
the attribute will contain both names (the old and the new).
Non-zero indicates that the old RDN should be deleted.
serverctrls points to an array of LDAPControl structures that list the
client controls to use with this extended operation. Use NULL to specify
no client controls. clientctrls points to an array of LDAPControl
structures that list the client controls to use with the search.

ldap_rename
works just like
ldap_rename_s,
but the operation is asynchronous. It returns the message id of the request
it initiated. The result of this operation can be obtained by calling
ldap_result(3).

ERRORS

ldap_rename()
returns -1 in case of error initiating the request, and
will set the ld_errno field in the ld parameter to
indicate the error.
ldap_rename_s()
returns the LDAP error code resulting from the rename operation.
